cnn has also learned that michael cohen used his official trump e-mail address and signature to handle the matter. the adult film star tells cnn the controversy is actually helping her career. >> i think it's pretty clear that with the new developments comes new interest. >> this all comes as president trump prepares to hit the campaign trail today. he'll be stumping for a pennsylvania republican who is also in danger of losing in a district that president trump carried by 20 points. cnn's boris sanchez is at the white house for us. boris this is a controversy that is not going away any time soon. >> that's right, fred, there's the stormy daniels saga with these new revelations about michael cohen's use of trump e-mail to communicate with stormy daniel's attorney and facilitate this nondisclosure agreement. cohen has denied he did this with the president's knowledge. he essentially put out a

statement saying his use of the trump organization e-mail means nothing. here's that statement now. he writes, quote, the use of my company e-mail to communicate with the bank and miss clifford's former counsel proves absolutely nothing despite the less than convincing comments offered by mr. avenatti. he says, i use this e-mail address for virtually everything as many people do. but still doesn't answer a question brought up in one specific e-mail exchange where michael cohen says he couldn't facilitate a payment to daniels because the trump organization offices were closed for a holiday. despite all of that, the white house is not really saying much about the stormy daniels' controversy. sarah sanders denied the president has anything to do with the allegations against him. something she reiterated multiple types this week about the controversy. here's one exchange just yesterday. >> you said from the podium you

acknowledge the president -- to follow up on the question, knows about the arbitration involving stormy daniels. so does he remember speaking with his lawyer about that? does he remember meeting daniels -- >> i have addressed this extensively. i don't have anything else to add. i'll take one last question. >> they say they've dealt with this extensively. but they still haven't really said anything about the fact that daniels is now filing a lawsuit against the president or answering further questions about that arbitration sarah sanders brought up earlier in the week. as you noted, the president heads to western pennsylvania this evening. he's campaigning for rick sacnone in pennsylvania district, a district the president up with by 20 points, but republican strategists are telling cnn they're doubtful they can hold on to this seat. because we're in the first midterm of a republican presidency, but also they're concerned about these controversies potentially having an effect on the president's base. not only stormy daniels, but the russia investigation, the issue of tariffs, may actually play in

the president's favor here, but with other republicans challenging him, it spells disarray within the party. it will be interesting to see what happens. this could signal an alarm for republicans as we await the midterm elections in november, fred. >> all right, boris sanchez, thank you so much, from the white house. earlier this morning, stormy daniels' attorney appeared on cnn and spoke with michael smerconish. >> has anyone offered to pony up the million dollars to protect her and say here, i'm good for it, go tell your story? >> at least ten individuals in the last three days alone. >> 10 individuals. are any of them larry flynn? >> no, not that i know of. >> is she contemplating taking any of those ten offers? >> no. >> does she think in retrospect that 130-k was chump change? because after all, he was elected president.

i'm really asking whether that amount was determined by her perhaps believing the polls a week out from the election, hey, he's not going to win anyway, i may as well take the money? >> i think when and if she's able to tell her story the american people are going to learn how that amount was arrived at. among the parties. but this isn't about her having buyer's remorse, it really isn't. >> so what is all of this about? let's bring in our political panel, robert zimmerman is a democratic strategist and a member of the democratic national committee ben ferguson is a cnn political commentator. also joining us joey jackson, who is a cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney, coming to us from new orleans, i think, right? >> that's right. >> what really is keeping stormy daniels from talking more about her story? if her attorney says it's nothing to do with money and, remember, the attorney has also said that since president trump didn't sign that nondisclosure agreement, there really isn't an

agreement, so what's keeping her from talking further? >> the nondisclosure agreement. simply because her lawyer is of the view that because it's not signed it's valid, i don't know that others share that view. certainly it's a contract. it was an offer to keep quiet. it was acceptance of that offer. there was a monetary provision of $130,000 paid in satisfaction to negotiate and otherwise keep her silent. that's why you see her lawyer going to court, trying to get what's called a decdeclaretory agreement. that means declare the agreement null and void. what i think will happen is she'll tell her story anyway. also keep in mind not only would she be subject -- even give back the $130,000, but there's what's called a liquidated damage provision in the contract which says she has to pay $1 million for each breach of that contract. so if someone comes forward and

there you saw michael summer connick speaking about her, if she's deemed to be in violation, she will be responsible for paying that money. >> so ben, really at issue here is not just the alleged affair, but about a character and about a deal potentially made to protect an image prior to the election and, bottom line, does this become a security threat? does it show this alleged relationship, show any real vulnerability the president of the united states has to blackmail? >> i don't think it does. i think what you're seeing here. i'll give stormy daniels kudos for at least being intellectually honest about it. this is great for her career. i'll tell you why she has not told her story yet. because the build-up to the story is making her an insane amount of money. she has become one of the most googled people in history.

someone said she's now by far the most famous adult star ever. >> right, but is that the side bar -- >> -- decision she could have ever made on her own -- >> ben, i wonder if that's the side bar, really the crux of it is the vulnerability of the president? >> i don't think so. i think everybody basically knows what the story is at this point. that his attorneys wanted to protect donald trump and his interests. made a payment. she agreed to it. now she's exploiting that agreement to her advantage to make what many have said is probably millions of dollars before she even does an interview or gets a big book deal or does a big sit-down here. outside of that, this is tabloids meets politics. it's a perfect storm for somebody like stormy daniels to make a lot of money off this. >> robert. >> it's a much bigger issue here than stormy daniels making a lot of money. if you look at the way an adult film actress and her lawyer have tied up the white house and the trump administration and the president and his lawyers in one

lie after another. one falsehood. they've been exposed to one falsehood over another. this affair that everyone believes took place. no one believes the white house or his attorney -- >> that is the -- >> i didn't interrupt you, ben. excuse me. >> hold on, ben, let robert say the whole thing. you can you respond. >> the president has denied this. no one believes it. but the bigger point is this white house has been caught in one lie after another discussing the matter. if this is what a adult film star and her lawyer can do to this administration, think about what the russians can do to this administration. everyone knows what the score is. let's be very clear. this should make us extremely sad to see a president -- >> well, i wonder, bernn, becau there have been very different versions, even from the attorney. first there was no payment. and then there was a payment. there was llc. and then it was, you know -- now this home equity line of credit.

so, i mean, there have been a number of stories told. and why is that? why not just be honest about it? what is being hidden? >> first of all, none of this would have come out if she would have abided by the agreement which she took $130,000 for -- >> but that's not the point -- >> let me finish. >> doesn't excuse the president or the lawyer lying. >> let me finish. so if the attorney comes out and says i'm not talking about this, i'm not giving up new information, that's not a lie, that's just agreeing to the agreement. now, when they have clearly exploited this to their advantage so stormy daniels makes more money and makes millions of dollars off this, then naturally new information is going to come out from his attorney of donald trump. i mean, you're going to have to do that. the bottom line -- >> but the question is not that ben, the question is do you believe the information -- >> wait, let me -- a moment ago, you talked about being honest here. the only person here that is not being honest is stormy daniels for not agreeing to what she agreed to in a contract and took

100-plus-thousand dollars. she has exploited an -- >> there's a lot of dishonesty, it does seem like there's a lot of dishonesty because there's a lot of changes of stories. this is what stormy daniels said just last night when a reporter, nick valencia, caught up with her in florida. listen. >> so what has this done for your career? >> it's sort of been a double-edged sword. where a lot of people are very interested in booking me for dancing and stuff like that. so it's -- i'm getting more, more dance bookings. i usually only dance once a month. now i'm dancing three or four times a month. but it's overshadowing a lot of films i'm supposed to be promoting and a lot of mainstream projects i was working on have been put on hold. >> you've gotten a lot of attention. some of it, some negative attention. how are you handling everything? >> i've been in the adult business for 17 years. so to make it that long in that business, you have to have a really tough skin.

and so it's -- most of it rolls off my shoulders because it's an opinion like, oh, you think i'm a whore, you think i'm ugly, i'm old, my boobs are too small or too big. i've heard -- there's nothing along those lines that someone can say to me i haven't heard. when someone says, hay, you're a whore, i'm like, that is successful whore to you. >> joey, this is a consequence, you know, of it being publicized, this alleged affair. but then when you talk about, you know, the lies about the affair, that's one thing. but it's really -- what really is at issue is the transactions and the stories about the financial transportation saxact. talk to us about the legal road and really why the mueller team might be particularly interested in a pattern of transactions along with or in concert with a pattern of lies. >> you know, you have your finger right on the pulse, fredricka, because what you're doing is following the money and if you follow the money, you get to the truth. and so the ultimate issue here

is whether or not there were any laws broken. the point is, it could be seen as a campaign donation, right, in the middle of the campaign, just prior to the campaign, you have this hush money being paid. so the ultimate issue is whether or not it's if campaign finance or if it's not reported or disclosed on the form, a lie, and in the event it's an illegal campaign contribution, then you have a department of justice investigation that could lead, as we saw by analogy, in the case of john edwards who formerly ran for president, he was acquitted of the single count and the jury hung on the other counts. but you can tie up the president and the white house if you can prove that. so the money trail is going to say a lot. at the end of the day with regard to whether something legal or illegal happened. >> and isn't it -- is it true that the president or even that the treasury secretary could

have the power to follow the money, get to the bottom of the money of this transaction of michael cohen's, you know, home equity line of credit and transferring that money into the account of stormy daniels? joey? >> you know, i think it's more likely that you'll see it be done by the federal elections commission. you know, they're certainly in charge. the regulatory body of that. something's amiss. the department of justice. and all this in the midst of a much broader and wider investigation. it's not only about following the money and seeing where it leads and whether it was illegal. when you start by calling people in to talk about it, as we've seen in another investigation, it's about whether or not, was there obstruction, lies being told? i mean, listen, anybody who believes that a lawyer -- i love my client, don't get me wrong -- >> you're not going to use your house for the client?

>> i will not take a home equity line just because i'm a kind guy. >> you're just not committed enough. okay, robert, ten seconds left. >> michael cohen made the point he entered into an agreement without disclosing it on behalf of donald trump with aliases. any lawyer who believes that's ethical at all, to not disclose it to your client. >> ten seconds left. >> i'll say this, we are stretching to say this is going anywhere close to what we just described here. at the end of the day, you had an agreement that was made between attorney with a client who is now exploiting this to make millions of dollars. well done to stormy daniels from a business perspective and decision for doing this. she's getting two to three times more per month than she did before just for her statement. plus, she gets to promote herself -- >> and the -- >> let me finish. my point is this, to imply somehow she is ethically here or she's a victim here is absurd.

she's exploiting this situation. >> it's the ethics of family value leaders like you, ben, that's at stake here, that's at issue. >> robert zimmer man, ben fergus ferguson, joey jackson, thank you. up next, the meeting now contained an asterisks. the white house pumps the brakes on a face-to-face meeting between president trump and north korea's leader. why? plus, a grim end to a standoff that lasted nearly eight hours. details on why a gunman stormed a military veterans home in northern california and then took three women hostage. you can't predict the market, but through good times and bad at t. rowe price we've helped our investors stay confident for over 80 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

something out of fire and fury perhaps. now we are looking at a possible unprecedented meeting between president trump and north korean dictator kim jong-un. the white house says some

conditions need to be met first. >> they have made some major promises. they've made promises to denuclearize. they've made promises to stop nuclear and missile testing. we're not going to have this meeting take place until we see concrete actions that match the words and the rhetoric of north korea. >> all right, joining me right now to discuss, cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson live from seoul, south korea. what has been the reaction about this potential meeting? >> so far, we have not heard any official reaction and that's important because that means that we're not really directly getting a statement from pyongyang. what we've heard so far of the north korean position has come from the south korean delegation that went there in the first place and brought the offer for a face-to-face meeting to president trump himself. north korean's government, the government doesn't exactly give

press conferences. we try to figure out what they mean, usually from state media reports. and today, notably, one of the articles published by the state media wire was that north korea was very angry about sanctions the u.s. imposed on north korea a few weeks ago, saying that this could lead to a war. it is quite possible that the propagandaists in pyongyang just haven't quite gotten up to speed yet with the speed of the diplomacy that's taken place between pyongyang and washington with the south koreans in the middle, fredricka. >> so the president, president trump, tweeted this morning that he spoke to the chinese president xi jinping about the possible north korean meeting and what more has come from that and what has china said about this? >> yes, i think you're showing the tweet right now, which he

initially misspelled xi jinping's name, but it looks like president trump deleted that and corrected the spelling. and said he spoke at length about the meeting with kim jong-un, north korea. president xi said he appreciates the u.s. is trying to solve the problem diplomatically. he has also spoken, president trump, since the announcement thursday night, with the prime minister of japan, who continues to call for the economic blockade so to speak, the maximum pressure campaign, as the trump administration describes it, sanctions to continue to be imposed on the north korean regime. the south koreans are delighted. the president down here said it was nothing short of a miracle. of course, south korea perhaps stood to have the most to lose if the worst case scenario was to take place and that is a war between north korea and the u.s. with the capital where i'm standing, seoul, within

artillery range of north korea's cannons. so the south koreans are delighted that we've gotten to the stage of a possible historic meeting between the north korean and u.s. leaders, fret ridricka >> all right, ivan watson, thank you. south korea having been instrumental in extending that invitation apparently north korea gave. in just a few hours, we will hear from president trump at a rally in pennsylvania. will he address this possible meeting with north korea? analyst david rhodes joining me right now. good to see you, david. how unusual or strange is this that there has been no re, ax , reaction, nothing public coming from north korea about what would be a huge meeting, a huge moment for north korea? >> i think it's a good sign. what we don't want to have the backtracking from either side and you talked about it, sort of a muddled message from the white house yesterday. i want to credit donald trump

for agreeing to this meeting. it's a risk. he's a risk taker. >> it's a real evolution on diplomacy. now he's embracing it. >> yes, so i applaud him for taking the risk. now there's a chance for this white house and this president to work on execution. to have a clear message. not yesterday where it was sort of garbled, but to sort of plan this out carefully. tweet was a good step trying to get the chinese to help. this is, again, great that he's a risk taker, but, you know, less impulsive. you have to be careful when you do this kind of diplomacy. >> even by way of that tweet, does this tell you that perhaps this president is now trying to develop some sort of framework? if this meeting is to take place, how to do it, where to do it? you know, just the dynamics of person to person, how does that play out? and these two head strong leaders, you know, might one try

to one-up the other? don't you have to anticipate that? >> there is a colleague of mine, at the new yorker, robin wright wrote about this, this is sort of backwards. normally the president comes in at the end. it was agreed by lower level people. nixon's breakthrough visiting china, that was three years of meetings. so there's a danger here that it's going to -- that they will meet and kim jong-un will have this great, you know, moment in the global spotlight, you know, and nothing really comes out of it for trump. so they need to manage expectations and i think start meetings now and try to plan out, to start this at the beginning of a dialogue. they're not going to instantly solve everything. >> is there a great reward for north korea, that this helps legitimize it? for the u.s. there are risks and there are rewards. >> yes. again, i want to be fair to trump, i think this is the right thing to do, to meet with him, but i think he has to be patient, listen to his aides, listen to past administrations. this is an old north korean

tactic. the pressure they agreed to talks and then they basically used negotiations to buy time. he needs to sort of not be tricked into expecting some instant breakthrough in this kind of meeting. this has to be a strategy, not just a tactic. >> trump's tweet says china has been helpful here. japan apparently not very excited about this idea. what does this do to the entire region potentially? >> it raises a lot of expectations. it's a smart play by the north koreans. they're acting very effectively diplomatically. the chinese are upset. again, a white house mistake. the japanese weren't told he was going to agree to this meeting beforehand. that's just a simple thing, wait a few hours. so yn the japanese are going to be nervous. the chinese i think will help. but he's got to be very careful again about whether the chinese take real risks or just put trump out there on his own to solve this. >> david rhode, thank you so much. straight ahead, u.s. attorney general jeff sessions pushing back today when asked

about his decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation. but was it a comment for the audience or for the u.s. president? we'll discuss. yogi is confident. yoooogiiiiiii!! but when it comes to mortgages, he's less confident. here, yogi. fortunately, there's rocket mortgage by quicken loans. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently. get approved in as few as 8 minutes. today, innovation in the finger lakes is helping build the new new york. once home to the world's image center, new york state is now a leader in optics, photonics and imaging. fueled by strong university partnerships, providing the world's best talent. and supported with workforce development to create even more opportunities.

interview with the house intelligence committee. >> they want to make this a circus, they did a very good job of making it a circus. at the end of the day, they are now assured, from me and many others, there's no cooperation between the trump campaign and any russians. >> trump has not been directly implicated into mueller's investigation. but "the new york times" reports that he is asking questions, talking to two of mueller's witnesses about their testimony. there's a new name to know. george nader. he is now cooperating about his ties to the trump team and united arab emirates. joining me right now, cnn legal analyst and robert mueller's former special assistant at the doj and cnn politics reporter jeremy herb. michael, to you first, given everything that has happened this week are we getting any more clarity on the direction, directions, plural, of the mueller investigation? >> well, we're getting

indications that mueller's investigation is ongoing, that it's not going to end any time soon, that it has a very broad reach to include all aspects of his mandate, counterintelligence, coordination with any counterintelligence efforts, matters that arise out of or might have arisen out of an obstruction of justice. mueller is taking this mandate seriously. he's proceeding in multiple ways. the setup you described indicates exactly that. >> on the latter, obstruction of justice, is talking with people who were known to be witnesses and investigated by the mueller team is that -- can that be considered interference of any kind when you ask them how did it go? >> no, i don't think so. if a witness testifies before mueller and comes back to the white house and says mr. president, i wanted to let you know i spoke to bob mueller and he was asking me about one, two and three. and the president says thank you very much, nice to know, get

back to work, i don't think there's anything problematic. if he says, however, well, let's talk before the fact of your interview and let's shape that testimony, that would be a different matter and that would be probably closer to witness interference. from what we see on the public record right now it seems as if he's just being debriefed. now, if he's going to use that to shape his testimony, that may be a bit more problematic. on its face, fredricka, i don't think yet we've seen anything problematic about that. normally, however, it's trump's lawyers who ask for the debriefing, not the president himself. >> all right. and jeremy, this morning the u.s. attorney general jeff sessions spoke at a federalist society event in washington about his decision to distance himself from the case. this is what he had to say when a question was asked from the audience. >> our next question is the following. do you think it was a mistake to recuse yourself from the russian investigation?

it's not my question. >> you know, no, i think that's what i had to do. i did not realize -- i knew you have to deal with those questions and i told the confirmation committee i would consult with the top officials in the department about any recusal issue. but there is a specific regulation. that says if you participate in a campaign, explicitly says that, then you can't investigate the campaign of which you were a part. pretty reasonable thing. i was chairman of the national security committee of the trump campaign and participated in so i didn't feel like it was -- that is what i was advised by professionals, career people in the department. i felt like i had to recuse myself. >> thank you. >> all right, so jeremy, is his

audience, that live audience, is he hoping that audience is also the u.s. president? >> i think it's a little of both. i think at this point attorney general sessions is not going to convince the president this is a good idea. we've seen the president over and over on twitter criticizing him for the recusal. it's kind of the original sin of the entire russia probe and robert mueller. at the same time, the attorney general started defending himself. the president tweeted this week about fisa investigation about a second special counsel. attorney general fought back with a statement saying the department of justice acted properly and as long as i'm attorney general, that's what they're going to do. >> and then, michael, we're also learning now the trump attorneys are considering this interview of the president and the conditions and also i guess trying to use some leverage in saying we're willing to do this if you can also make some promises this investigation will end soon. i mean, what's the likelihood of that? >> zero. i would think. robert mueller will define the

terms and the timing and the duration and the content of that interview. it is not for the subject of the interview to set conditions. >> those attorneys know that. why are they asking that? >> because they're trying to do the best they can for their client. they have some public, you know, leverage in the sense many people think this is something which should end and maybe they're trying to pressure the mueller team into thinking that they can't really get away with this as a pr matter but in the end mueller has a grand jury. he has a grand jury subpoena. and he can subpoena the president. there is no precedent really that precludes the president from refusing to testify under these circumstances. most of what mueller wants to talk to him about is about executive privilege. all of the run-up to the collusion inquiry is before he's president. so i think a lot of this is for

the president's sake we're fighting for you boss, but in the end he's going to have to sit down, just as bill clinton had to sit down, and they'll take his testimony and the chips will fall wherever they fall. >> might this be strategy of just kind of public posturing? if we make it public they were asking for conditions and those conditions aren't denied if he does not willingly testify, he can say, well, you know, we said under these conditions we would do it but they're just not working with us? >> that's right, but the conditions under which he can refuse are two, pretty much. one is to exert executive privilege. that doesn't seem applicable here. the second is the asserting his fifth amendment right against self-incrimination which is troubling for a fellow who said no kolg lucicollusion, no obstr. so i think his own words will, you know, haunt him i think. >> and jeremy, you know, there are reports now that the chief of staff john kelly also warned the president, you know, not to

talk to witnesses from mueller's probe. we just heard michael's take on, you know, if it's just kind of like how did it go, that's perhaps safe, but "the new york times" says that trump asked former chief of staff reince priebus and white house counsel don mcgahn about their interviews. does he know his limits, how far he's able to probe these witnesses? >> i think we're going to -- this is something we're going to be watching going forward. obviously the president has an intense interest in this probe and in what's happening. he's called it a cloud that's still hanging over him. he's wanted it to end now for a long time. his lawyers have been predicting it's coming soon. i think we've seen mueller's team clearly has not shown any signs of slowing down. we saw the list of people who were on the subpoena for sam nunberg this weekend. in addition to the president. many of his closest allies. i think this is something that is going to continue to be of interest to the president, to

find out what it is exactly mueller's probing. >> all right, jeremy -- go ahead, michael. >> one last thing which is we have to seb raparate witnesses. mcgahn is still a white house employee. >> good point. >> the president's talking to mcgahn may be a little more problematic because it may feel an imperative as an employee versus priebus who has it voluntary. so witness, who, and what is being asked of them. >> thanks to both of you, appreciate it. all right, coming up, it was a decision initially met with plenty of criticism but now the pentagon exclusively tells cnn that plans for a military parade in washington are a go. we'll tell you about the caveats. father, you were persecuted, and forced to flee the country of your birth. but you started a new life in a brand new world.
